C*-Algebraic Quantization and the Origin of Topological Quantum Effects
Concepts from the theory of abstract operator algebras are used to solve the problem of quantizing a particle moving on an arbitrary locally compact homogeneous space. Inequivalent quantizations are identified with inequivalent irreducible representations of the corresponding C*-algebra. Topological terms in the action (or Hamiltonian) are found to be representation-dependent, and are automatic...
متن کاملQuantum current modeling in nano-transistors with a quantum dot
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
متن کاملQuantum Transport and Current-triggered Dynamics in Molecular Tunnel Junctions
The modelling of nanoelectronic systems has been the topic of ever increasing activity for nearly two decades. Yet, new questions, challenges and opportunities continue to emerge. In this article we review theoretical and numerical work on two new developments in the theory of molecular-scale electronics. First we review a density functional theory analysis within the Keldysh non-equilibrium Gr...
متن کاملAnalytical quantum current modeling in GNSFET
Carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) belong to the same class of carbon-based nanomaterialsas carbon nanotubes. As a new category of quasi one dimensional material Graphene Nanoscroll (GNS) has captivated the researchers recently because of its exceptional electronic properties like having large carrier mobility. GNS shape has open edges and no caps unlike Single Wall Nanotubes (SWNTs) which are wou...
متن کاملGeometrical enhancement of the proximity effect in quantum wires with extended superconducting tunnel contacts
We study Andreev reflection in a ballistic one-dimensional channel coupled in parallel to a superconductor via a tunnel barrier of finite length L. The dependence of the low-energy Andreev reflection probability RA on L reveals the existence of a characteristic length scale ξN beyond which RA(L) is enhanced up to unity despite the low interfacial transparency. The Andreev reflection enhancement...
